Recently, Ace Hotel worked with Converse to create limited-edition high top sneakers made with premium leather materials. Under the brand Converse x Ace Hotel Pro Leather, these sneakers combine the modern street style with Ace Hotel motifs.

Selling for $120 a pair, these high tops mimic the ones worn by basketball player Julius Erving II (Dr. J) in the 70’s. Made with premium sheep skin and soft suede, the grey and white shoe also has an “A” pattern all over the shoe to feature Ace Hotel and comes in custom Ace-designed dust bag and box.

This is the third style created from this collaboration, with the other two being Converse x Ace Bosey:

The Ace Hotel brand seems to have grown outside of the hotel industry and have spread across into others such as fashion, home goods, and art. Will this expansion into other industries become a trend for other hotel brands? Do you predict that people will purchase any of these shoes? Let us know at FASHIONOTES!
